The central defender Philippe Mexes, who suffered a knee injury, will no longer appear on the field this season.

The 29-year-old footballer got injured in Sunday's Serie A match against Juventus Turin. After examinations, it was revealed that he will have to undergo surgery.

According to forecasts, the rehabilitation will last about three to four months, so Mexes will only return to the green field next season.

However, it is unclear where the Frenchman will play in the autumn - his contract with Roma expires in June, and negotiations for an extension are stalling. It is rumored that he is tempted by Milan.
